Chapter 351: Really, Her Fists Were Clenched

Chapter 351 She Was Fuming

Aunt Niu nearly ground her teeth to dust upon hearing the police officer's explanation.

Oh, just great. Her good-for-nothing son went and shouldered all the blame himself.

Since Zheng Xiaofeng was still at the police station and hadn’t been sent to prison yet, the officers allowed them to meet directly in the interrogation room.

"Mom!" Zheng Xiaofeng called out excitedly the moment he saw Aunt Niu.

"Don’t you ‘Mom’ me! Zheng Xiaofeng, you’re unbelievable. I thought you were doing so well in the city, but who knew you’d end up in a police station?" Aunt Niu sneered.

Aunt Niu’s scolding instantly killed Zheng Xiaofeng’s excitement.

"Fine, if you and Dad don’t want to help me, then I’ll just go to jail," he snapped.

He was counting on the fact that Aunt Niu and his father wouldn’t abandon him or refuse to pay the compensation, which was why he felt so entitled.

Listening from the side, Su He was seething with anger.

"Zheng Xiaofeng! How could you even say that?" Aunt Niu was so furious she felt her blood pressure spike.

"Isn’t it true? After not seeing me for so long, instead of caring about me, all you do is blame me the moment you show up," Zheng Xiaofeng shot back.

Su He felt her own blood pressure rising just listening to Aunt Niu’s youngest son. What kind of person was this?

God, if Zai Zai ever turned out like this, she’d seriously walk away from motherhood.

"And you think you don’t deserve to be blamed? Who got you locked up here? You even took all the blame yourself—how big of you. Meanwhile, your girlfriend’s brother is completely fine, already out, while you’re still stuck here. The person you hurt is demanding compensation. If we don’t pay, you’re going to jail."

Aunt Niu didn’t waste any more words on her son and laid out the harsh reality for him.

To her shock, Zheng Xiaofeng looked utterly convinced, as if he’d done nothing wrong. "Isn’t it better for one person to take the blame than two? Besides, you and Dad can just save up and pay the compensation. Yuanyuan’s family’s broke—her dad’s health is bad, and her own job barely pays. It’s up to our family."

Yuanyuan was Zheng Xiaofeng’s girlfriend, full name Xu Yuanyuan.

Aunt Niu felt her youngest son was hopelessly naive.

What was worse, he clearly didn’t care about his aging parents at all. Otherwise, how could he not consider where they, at their age, were supposed to come up with that kind of money for him?

"Xiaofeng... our family doesn’t have the money," Mr. Niu said with deep sorrow, his face full of sorrow.

He sighed, looking as though he’d aged a decade in an instant. His face, already weathered from years of hard labor, now appeared even more haggard.

But Zheng Xiaofeng showed no understanding toward his parents. Scowling, he snapped, "No money? We’ve always been one of the better-off families in the village, haven’t we?"

Seeing her son’s complete lack of remorse, Aunt Niu’s heart grew colder by the minute.

"Better-off? Do you think money grows on trees? We do have a bit more land, and I make some by selling things in town, but do you think it’s a lot? And have you forgotten? Your brothers and their wives have already split from the family. They might pitch in, but after how you’ve acted?"

Mentioning his brothers and their wives only made Zheng Xiaofeng angrier.

"Mom, don’t even bring them up! When they split from the family, you gave them money. But when I wanted to marry Yuanyuan, you wouldn’t cough up a dime!"

Su He: [Speechless]

Ughhhhh!

Her fists were balled up in rage. What did she do to deserve this? To make her witness such a conversation? This Zheng Xiaofeng was beyond stupid—he was downright infuriating.

"You’re so eager to be a live-in husband, yet you expect your parents to pay for it? You should be giving money to your parents, since you’ll be joining your future father-in-law’s family anyway," Su He couldn’t help but chime in.

Honestly, she normally stayed out of other people’s family affairs.

But this time, it was too much to take.

How could there be someone so shameless in this world?

She had seen Zheng Xiaofeng a few times before in the village.

Whenever she went to sell goods in town, she’d set up a stall with Aunt Niu.

Sometimes she’d go to Aunt Niu’s house to call her, and other times Aunt Niu would come to hers.

Twice when she went to Aunt Niu’s place, she bumped into Zheng Xiaofeng. Seeing her and Aunt Niu heading out to sell at the market, he’d shot her a dirty look, as if setting up a stall was beneath him.

Back then, Su He had noticed but brushed it off, thinking he was just young and full of himself.

But now? Turns out he wasn’t just arrogant—he was seriously messed up. How could someone as kind as Aunt Niu raise a son like this?

Seriously, she was seeing red.

"Butt out, this doesn’t concern you, outsider!" Zheng Xiaofeng, humiliated that Su He had dared to scold him, immediately shot back.

Before Su He could even respond, Aunt Niu suddenly reached out and hauled off and slapped Zheng Xiaofeng across the face.

Everyone present was stunned—no one expected Aunt Niu to do something like that.

The police officer, who had been standing by the door observing the situation (since these situations usually ended with mediation), was startled.

Recently, Wencheng had been in the middle of a crime crackdown. While higher-ups demanded strict sentencing, local stations didn’t want their districts labeled as the worst, so they pushed for out-of-court settlements.

As long as both parties agreed to compensation, they could treat it as a civil case and wrap it up.

That’s why the officer had been happy to let the family work it out—once the money was ready, the station would have one fewer case on the books.

Who could’ve predicted things would turn physical?

"Hey, hey! You’re still in a police station—what are you doing?!" The officer at the door shouted, no longer able to stay idle.

Aunt Niu turned to the officer and said, "Officer, I’m sorry. Just disciplining my son.

Here’s the thing—we’re truly sorry for what happened to the victim. I’m willing to pay all my savings as medical compensation.

You must already have an estimate for how much should be paid, right?

This is all I have. If it’s not enough, see if they’d accept land or something else.

If not, then just sentence him as you see fit. We won’t object."

Her last sentence left the room dead quiet.

"Mom! What are you saying?!" Zheng Xiaofeng stared at Aunt Niu in disbelief. He never imagined his doting mother would actually let him go to prison.
